Yes. Ubuntu doesn’t follow upstream kernels, so they will have to make a custom backport for 6.17 to fix the kernel It’s very unlikely you need the module that has the bug, so the mitigation should work for you Just double check lsmod | grep aead As long as that module is not loaded, and you have the kmod update that adds /etc/modprobe.d/disable-algif.conf you’re protected
